Conditions

The course conditions were good even though we've had a lot of rain. Some of the paths were a bit muddy but the fairways and greens were good.

Awfull greens

Greens had been spiked and laced with sand. Not just a little bit of sand, it was like trying to putt in a sand pit. We wasn't warned before hand, we wasn't offered any sort of discount, if we had known how awful they were, we would have played somewhere else. When we told the staff, they just told us to send an email. Would of had more fun trying to putt on bournemouth beach

Potential

Greens good but suffering from birds digging!

First 9 good.

13/14 a scruffy corner. Could the part 3 be lengthened?

More bunkers needed all over to increase the challenge.

Loads of potential to be a more up market course.

Doing well .

Bit of investment needed.

No bad

Course starting to get dry, greens being plagued by crows so not very good, had a clear round no one in front or behind so got round very quick.

The course has never been the best of conditions but okay. However, the bunkers were disgraceful. Absolutely, no excuse to be in that condition. If i were the green keeper I would be ashamed. No Excuse! Simple maintenance,

First Time Playing

First time at course

Played with a friend after moving to area. Very good value for money. Course very flat but interesting layout, however rough very penal and as soon as you stray off the fairway impossible to find your ball. Good all round experience with very good off course amenities.

5 Ball in football boots

Somehow there happened to be a 5 ball on the course, in football boots and drinking cans at 8:20 in the morning, it took 1 hour to complete 2 holes a further 1 1/2 hours to complete another 5 holes, before i had to have my say (besides calling for course management to have a word of which no real result took place other than them backchatting the staff) play here quite often but with the kind of people/etiquette allowed, suggest staying away until the fair weather/newbies are gone

Twilight Round

The course is average, could do with some sand in the bunkers & care around & on the greens. The downside was the fact that golfers could start on the 1st or 10th, so when we finished on the 9th we had to que for the 10th, at this point we gave up!!

For the money and area a decent place to have a round of golf. Can tell from those playing it does seem to encourage younger players to get into golf which is good. As for conditions and appreciate weather was very wet last week and dry and warm this week, not so great. The fairways has grass at different lengths and a bit patchy, though some may be drainage issues. First green heavily pecked by crows but rest ok. Bunkers weren’t great with some baked in bottom and patchy bits of sand . Cafe and bar were nice and good service.

Wet

The course has standing water in places and one or two areas is boggy, but this did not really affect the game. Overall its a good course.
